| Abstract: | The paper contains a review of works on rentseeking with special attention paid to political corruption and corruptive networks. We also present here a theoretical model of rentseeking behavior in complex systems. The results of the model are tested not as it is usually done by speculative data about volumes of corruption, but on mass media reports about anticorruption measures in Russia. We used this data because Russian mass media is dependent on the few powerful interest groups, so through analyzing the texts we can derive which interest groups these are. As it was predicted for the developing countries in Africa, we fund out that these groups are Army and Police. This proves that in developing countries political stability is supported not by economic development, but by status-quo between well-organized militarized rent-seeking groups. |

| Abstract: | An overall comparative study of outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) from BRIC countries and strategies conducted by multinational companies (MNCs) based in the BRICs is elaborated on with a same methodology for Brazil, Russia, India and China. The comparison pertains to the historical emergence of firms' internationalisation, their booming expansion in the 2000s then their muddling through the current crisis, the specificities of OFDI from each home country, OFDI geographical distribution and industrial structure, econometric testing of the respective determinants of Brazilian, Russian, Indian and Chinese OFDI, and the role of home countries' governments vis-à-vis home-based MNCs. Beyond some common characteristics, BRICs' MNCs exhibit a number of major country-specific features. |

| Abstract: | In this paper we use a non-linear programming approach to predict the wider interregional and interindustry impacts of natural gas flow disruptions. In the short run, economic actors attempt to continue their business-as-usual and follow established trade patters as closely as possible. In the model this is modelled by minimizing the information gain between the original pattern of economic transactions and the situation in which natural gas flows are disrupted. We analyze four scenarios that simulate Russian export stops of natural gas by means of a model calibrated on an international input-output table with six sectors and six regions. The simulations show that at the lower levels of aggregation considerable effects are found. At the aggregate level of the whole economy, however, the impacts of the four scenarios are negligible for Europe and only a little less so for Russia itself. Interestingly, the effects on the size of the economy, as measured by its GDP, are predominantly positive for the various European regions, but negative for Russia. The effects on the welfare of the populations involved, however, as measured by the size of domestic final demand, have an opposite sign; with predominantly negligible but negative effects for European regions, and very small positive effects for the Russian population. |

| Abstract: | The analysis of the agreement on free trade area between Ukraine and the EU and an assessment of the signing of this agreement and the political situation around him will affect the GDP of Russia, Ukraine and the EU, trade flows between the two countries and discussed the risks of termination of cooperation for the individual enterprises of Ukraine and Russia. On the basis of the general equilibrium model, the authors consider the implications for different scenarios of further development of trade relations between Russia and Ukraine. The first scenario is the implementation of the trade agreement on association, namely the zeroing reciprocal duties between the EU and Ukraine. The second scenario is the introduction of CCT EAEC countries in relation to imports from Ukraine, without consideration of the implementation of the commercial part of the association agreement. The third scenario is considering a complete cessation of mutual trade through the introduction of protective (in magnitude) of mutual non-tariff barriers Russia and Ukraine. |

| Abstract: | Currently, Russia is a party to several interstate educational spaces, namely the European Union, the Commonwealth of Independent States, the Eurasian Economic Union, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. The report analyzes the EU's mechanisms for the formation and activities of intergovernmental educational spaces and the EAEC, that in future will help to build approaches to the long-term Russian strategy of cooperation in the framework of educational alliances with European countries and the EAEC, as well as help formulate approaches to emerging new educational spaces within BRICS, ASEAN . But already now we can say that even humanitarian cooperation in the field of education has economic consequences, measured in concrete terms, and requires analysis of the socio-economic efficiency of Russia's participation in international educational space of the EU, the CIS, EAEC, SCO, above all, for the national labor market highly qualified personnel, labor mobility. |

| Abstract: | This article analyzes the presumptions for the development of cooperation between the Republic of Serbia and Krasnodar Krai, one of the subjects of Russian Federation. At the beginning it was provided a geographic and socio-economic description of Krasnodar Krai, one of the federal subjects of the complexly organized Russian Federation. Its size and population are comparable to the ones of smaller European countries, such as Austria, Czech Republic, Republic of Ireland or Denmark, Finland and Slovakia. In comparison to Serbia, this region is somewhat smaller and less densely populated. Its landscape and climate diversity, as well as an abundance of natural resources make a good starting point for a further economic and social development of the region. The agro-industrial complex and tourism are especially developed in this region and are considered its strong points both within Russia and outside its borders. In the production of many agrarian products Krasnodar Krai is leader, or at the top in the Russian Federation. The level of industrial cooperation between Serbia and Russia is considerably lower than in the times of SFRY and USSR. However, it will certainly increase in the future, leading to an intensification of cooperation with Krasnodar region which will not only be based on trade relations. У овом раду се анализирају претпоставке развијања сарадње између Републике Србије и Краснодарске покрајине, једног од субјеката Руске Федерације. Најпре је дат географски и друштвеноекономски приказ Краснодарске покрајине, једног од субјеката сложено уређене Руске Федерације. По величини територије и броју становника упоредив с мањим европским земљама, попут Аустрије, Чешке или Републике Ирске, односно Данске, Финске и Словачке, овај руски регион је нешто мањи и слабије насељен од Србије. Разноврсност рељефа, климатских услова и велика природна богатства чине повољне услове за економски и друштвени развој региона. Посебно су развијени агроиндустријски комплекс и туризам, што и представља знак распознавања региона не само у оквирима Русије, већ и ван њених граница. У производњи низа пољопривредних култура Краснодарска покрајина заузима водеће, или једно од водећих места у оквирима Руске Федерације. Привредна сарадња Србије с Русијом у целини знатно заостаје за оном из времена СФРЈ и СССР, али ће у будућности свакако бити повећана, а у оквиру тога и сарадња с Краснодарском Покрајином, која се неће заснивати само на трговинским односима. |

| Abstract: | The object of the study are: communication in the public sphere as a form of establishing a political community and a way to build a culture of civic participation (participatory culture). Objective was to reconstruct the unfolding debate in Western studies of consensus and significant dissensuse as a method of forming a political community; to prepare a framework for further research in the field of modern Russian communication practices, which could become the basis for the formation of a political community. In the first part of the work presented conceptualization of the public sphere and public communication in the classical theory it shows how consensually-oriented communication can be the basis of a political community. The second part is devoted to criticism of the consensual model of public communication; It shows how consensus can be associated with the mechanisms of exclusion from the public sphere and the political community. The third part is devoted to the normative ideal of auditory democracy, which allows you to create a political community on the basis of significant dissensusa; It shows the extent to which modern Russian public sphere responds to this ideal. |

| Abstract: | This work is devoted to the analysis of the export, import and consumption of Russia in terms of jobs. The calculations in this section are mainly used data base WIOD Socio Economic Account. An important aspect of the global value chains of international corporations is to optimize the costs of factors of production, in particular labor. Production of sophisticated technology products are often composed of a plurality of production steps, each of which requires a different proportion of production factors and components. Logistics and development of information technology has led to the fact that the manufacturing steps can be greatly geographically quite distant from each other. All these circumstances oblige governments to take into account not only domestic but also global factors in the formation of the optimal industrial policy and the rules of the game in the labor market. Depending on the conditions, some goods can be carried out within the country, thus creating jobs or imported, that could be perceived as an import jobs. Ultimately, these aspects may be important in determining the level of the country's total income, exactly as determining the level of inequality. |

| Abstract: | Researchers have postulated that there is a positive effect of autonomy-supportive teacher practices on academic interest. Few studies, however, investigate how these practices can reduce the gender gap in mathematics interest. The goal of our study is to examine how autonomy-supportive practices effect on attitudes toward mathematics for girls and boys with different level of mathematics achievements. We used data from the Russian longitudinal study “Trajectories in Education and Career” (TrEC) to identify teacher practices which can reduce the gender gap in mathematics interest. Using hierarchical linear regression analysis we focused on two types of teacher practices: autonomy-supportive and controlling. We conducted analysis for boys and girls separately and evaluated how the effect of teacher practices on mathematics interest varies for boys and girls in general and according to their level of mathematics achievements. Our analysis demonstrates that girls are more sensitive to different teacher practices and some autonomy-supportive practices have a positive effect on mathematics interest for girls only and no effect on boys’ interest. We also identified that some teacher practices have different effects on students’ interest according to the level of their prior achievements. Autonomy-supportive practices are more important for students with high achievements |

| Abstract: | In this study we use a panel micro data set from the Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey to investigate the reasons for the existence of the stable private sector wage “premium” in the Russian labor market for the period 1994-2014. We do not find support for significantly higher job security and flexibility in the public sector but we do establish that differences in fringe benefits could explain at least 50% of the wage gap. Furthermore, we find that households with workers in the public sector receive lower earnings but enjoy the same level of consumption expenditures. Differences in assets and precautionary motives of workers cannot reconcile these discrepancies. Unexplained differences are referred to unreported income in the public sector, or bribes. |
